Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Proactive steps by management to look into industry payscales and changing the company's pay structure to match would be ideal. The current reality is that the push is coming from employees and employee exits, and even then the progress is sclerotic.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Compensation reviews, per market trends, are often requested but ignored. Training is given to explain why we're paid less. New hires with less experience get inflated titles, undervaluing existing team members. High retention offers are made when leaving, so why not pay fairly upfront?
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
